I Was Subjected To Identity Theft About A Month Ago

Hi,
I loved your article and thought it was really good. I was subjected
to identity theft about a month ago but because I'm computer savvy I was
able to jump on and secure my credit immediately.

What I found astonishing is that 98% of calls coming into the police
were all identity theft and they had no answers. They had no knowledge
of how to stop, prevent or anything else.

With record numbers of people being subjected to this crime you would
think the Police department would have a knowledgeable person tell you
to get online, write to credit company and fax over a authorization
form. They immediately jump in and freeze your account and notify the
other credit companies. With in a 30 minute time frame you can protect
yourself.

Please write another article and tell people what to do if there is a
need. To keep the "how to" list and share with their family and
friends.

Thanks again,
Mugzzi

Hi Mugzzi,

Thanks for the kind words, I will of course write another article listing the to do list.

best wishes
